Michigan

Back again, Had a little brain fart with the blog but Clinton Curry came to my rescue, Thanks Clinton!!!

We enjoyed wonderful hospitality from our friends, Vicki and Peter in Louisville.

We (really Jack) drove to Ludington, Michigan on the upper west side on Lake Michigan. Ludington is one of MI's top vacation destinations. Then we took the scenic route up to Leland and over to Suttons Bay. Stopped into the Ciccone Vineyard and Winery. For $5 you get a glass and taste 5 wines. I thought this winery was going to be tacky but it was very nice. That's Jack enjoying his wine on the patio. This place is owned by Silvio Ciccone - Madonna's dad.

Went to a casino in Traverse City, I won on the slots but Jack lost at Black Jack, oh well.

Yesterday we traveled over the Mackinaw Bridge ( me being on the floor), stopped in St. Ignace and took the ferry to Mackinac Island. What a beautiful island. No cars, only bicycles and horses. Alot like Martha's Vineyard. Met a girl who worked at Mangoes and a guy who waited on us at Fogartys. We had sunny weather but about 50 and windy.

Today we got as far as Iron River, WI and it was cloudy and 42. The upper peninsula is beautiful with wonder views of Lake Superior. I have now seen all the Great Lakes. We are in a campground and have not seen one human being. I think it's too cold for the locals.

Hopefully we will soon be on our own personal campsite at the Creigthon/O'Connor campground in Nevis, Minnesota overlooking Spider Lake. Can't wait to see you, Tom and Dennis. Next time I'll try to download 2 or more pictures. Love Gail
